About 3 months ago I read an article in USA Today which talks about the same issues but it referred to homosexual men as "DL (down low) Brothers". This article gave a few explanations as to why black men hide their sexuality. It talks about how difficult it is being black in White America but to be black and gay is twice as difficult. This article also touched on how the African American community views homosexuality as a taboo. Receiving absolutely no support from their own kind they feel the need to hide their sexuality.
I am not stating my opinion on anything just merely paraphrasing the article and I do encourage you to read it for yourselves.
